Pinterest Why the Red Rising novels are ready for an adaptation The Red Rising book series could be the next Netflix phenomenon. The purpose of the Dream Screens column is to help direct them to potentially lucrative pairings of source material and talent. It’s why Netflix is desperately investing in new franchises and why Amazon is spending $1 billion on Lord of the Rings. They must rely on the monumentally difficult task of finding and developing new IP. The tech-backed streamers, all of whom are still in their infancy as original programming developers, don’t have that luxury. Leveraging pre-existing brand name hits for new programming initiatives is a no-brainer. It’s why, for example, Disney+ can thrive on the back of Marvel and Star Wars and why HBO Max is relying on an avalanche of blockbuster IP across Game of Thrones, DC Comics and Harry Potter.

They are flush with libraries that date back 100 years. Hollywood has decades upon decades of experience developing shows and movies into full-fledged phenomenons and lucrative series. One major difference between legacy studios like Disney and WarnerMedia versus tech-backed streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, and Apple is highly valuable franchise intellectual property.
